I realized early on that I could not, and did not want to, expend energy on both my Recovery, and on the wasteful distraction of bending myself into a Pretzel while trying to conform to any System that was fundamentally incompatible to my time-tested Views and Beliefs. I'm 61. I don't argue what works for me; the only Person my Recovery Program need work for.

I quit and stayed quit using AVRT after ~42 years of increasingly-hard Drinking. The idea that I'm somehow powerless to not pick up again is simply ridiculous to me. Who else is supposed to be ultimately responsible for me quitting? Over the Centuries, Folks utilized Support - as plenty of us do here on SR - and quit.

Whatever you choose, go with a Program you're comfortable with. Not unlike taking Exercise, you're going to faithfully practice and excel at what feels intuitively 'right' in your Recovering Gut.

Accept no substitutes.
